An independent research hub dedicated to Aureobasidium pullulans beta glucan science.
An independent research hub built on one conviction: the science of Aureobasidium beta glucan deserves a dedicated, rigorously curated home.
Despite more than 30 years of peer-reviewed research — primarily from Japanese academic institutions — there was a significant gap in English-language resources that organized, summarized, and contextualized this body of work. Aureobasidium.org was founded to fill that gap, making high-quality science accessible to researchers, clinicians, and informed consumers worldwide.
Every piece of content on this site is governed by five editorial principles:
All factual claims are sourced from peer-reviewed, DOI-verified publications. Primary research takes precedence over review articles. Review articles take precedence over commentary or opinion pieces. No claim is made without a traceable source.
AI tools (including Claude by Anthropic) are used for research assistance, summarization drafts, and structured content organization. All AI-generated content is reviewed and verified by a human editor with domain knowledge before publication. AI-generated text is never published verbatim without editorial review.
This site does not make therapeutic claims. We report what peer-reviewed studies have found — distinguishing between in vitro, in vivo (animal), and human clinical evidence at all times. Readers are always directed to consult qualified healthcare professionals for personal medical decisions.
Aureobasidium.org has no commercial relationship with any supplement manufacturer, distributor, or product vendor. No sponsored content, affiliate links, or paid placements are accepted. Our editorial decisions are not influenced by commercial interests.
The research archive is updated as new peer-reviewed studies are identified. Pillar content pages are reviewed quarterly. Corrections are made transparently — significant changes include an update date and a brief note describing what changed.
Background in immunology and molecular biology. Responsible for verifying scientific accuracy of all content, reviewing source citations, and ensuring that mechanistic claims accurately reflect study findings.
Responsible for editorial strategy, AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) content structure, and ensuring all published content is accessible to non-specialist audiences without sacrificing scientific accuracy.
Claude (Anthropic) assists with literature search, structured summarization, and first-draft content generation. All AI contributions are reviewed by human editors before publication.
Aureobasidium.org was established in response to a clear gap in English-language scientific resources on Aureobasidium pullulans beta glucan — despite three decades of peer-reviewed research, mostly in Japanese academic literature.
The research archive launched with 178+ indexed peer-reviewed studies, each with structured metadata, DOI links, AI-generated summaries, and TL;DR abstracts. The Obsidian Vault download was made available.
Core educational pages went live, including the What is Beta Glucan? pillar article, FAQ, Glossary, and topic-based research hubs — structured for both human readers and AI answer engines.
New studies are indexed as they are published. Topic pages are expanded. The site aims to become the definitive English-language reference for Aureobasidium pullulans beta glucan research.
